Algebraic Topology Via Differential Geometry
Author: M. Karoubi
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521317146
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 380
Book Description
In this volume the authors seek to illustrate how methods of differential geometry find application in the study of the topology of differential manifolds. Prerequisites are few since the authors take pains to set out the theory of differential forms and the algebra required. The reader is introduced to De Rham cohomology, and explicit and detailed calculations are present as examples. Topics covered include Mayer-Vietoris exact sequences, relative cohomology, Pioncare duality and Lefschetz's theorem. This book will be suitable for graduate students taking courses in algebraic topology and in differential topology. Mathematicians studying relativity and mathematical physics will find this an invaluable introduction to the techniques of differential geometry.

Analytical and Numerical Approaches to Mathematical Relativity
Author: Jörg Frauendiener
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 9783540819288
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
General relativity ranks among the most accurately tested fundamental theories in all of physics. Deficiencies in mathematical and conceptual understanding still exist, hampering further progress. This book collects surveys by experts in mathematical relativity writing about the current status of, and problems in, their fields. There are four contributions for each of the following mathematical areas: differential geometry and differential topology, analytical methods and differential equations, and numerical methods.

Differential Topology
Author: C. T. C. Wall
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1316673286
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 355
Book Description
Exploring the full scope of differential topology, this comprehensive account of geometric techniques for studying the topology of smooth manifolds offers a wide perspective on the field. Building up from first principles, concepts of manifolds are introduced, supplemented by thorough appendices giving background on topology and homotopy theory. Deep results are then developed from these foundations through in-depth treatments of the notions of general position and transversality, proper actions of Lie groups, handles (up to the h-cobordism theorem), immersions and embeddings, concluding with the surgery procedure and cobordism theory. Fully illustrated and rigorous in its approach, little prior knowledge is assumed, and yet growing complexity is instilled throughout. This structure gives advanced students and researchers an accessible route into the wide-ranging field of differential topology.

Differential Geometry and Relativity
Author: M. Cahen
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9789027707451
Category : Gardening
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
On the sixtieth birthday of Andre Lichnerowicz a number of his friends, students, and coworkers decided to celebrate this event by preparing a jubilee volume of contributed articles in the two main fields of research marked by Lichnerowicz's work: differential geometry and mathematical physics. It was impossible to reflect in a single book the great variety of subjects tackled by Lichnerowicz. We hope that this book reflects some of the present trends of fields in which he worked, and some of the subjects to which he contributed in his long - and not yet finished - career. This career was very much marked by the influence of his masters, Elie Cartan who introduced him to research in mathematics, mainly in geometry and its relations with mathematical physics, and Georges Darmois who developed his interest in mechanics and physics, especially the theory of relativity and electromagnetism. This combination, and his personal talent, made him a natural scientific heir and continuator of the French mathematical physics school in the tradition of Henri Poincare. Some of his works would even be best qualified by a new field name, that of physical mathematics: branches of pure mathematics entirely motivated by physics.

Introduction to Differential Topology
Author: Theodor Bröcker
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521284707
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
This book is intended as an elementary introduction to differential manifolds. The authors concentrate on the intuitive geometric aspects and explain not only the basic properties but also teach how to do the basic geometrical constructions. An integral part of the work are the many diagrams which illustrate the proofs. The text is liberally supplied with exercises and will be welcomed by students with some basic knowledge of analysis and topology.
